"Successful! I have realized the true meaning of the alchemy, and have touched the threshold of the seventh-level alchemist. With this true meaning, I have even had a glimpse of the scenery inside the door. I believe that after a period of hard work, I will be able to Breaking through the bottleneck and officially entering the realm of a seventh-level alchemist," the waiter said excitedly.

"Then congratulations, fellow Taoist, your efforts have finally paid off." Yuan Ming felt relieved after hearing this.

When things here came to an end, Yuan Ming said goodbye to everyone, while Xihezi and Kong stayed here and continued to assist the waiter in the shop to perfect the integration with Zhou Tian's exquisite tripod.

Not long after, Yuan Ming's figure appeared in the flower garden field. He came under the majestic World Tree and met the Five Elements Boy.

"Can this eight-color lotus seed be planted on the World Tree through grafting?" Yuan Ming took out another treasured eight-color lotus seed and gently handed it to the Five Elements Boy.

"Innate bitter bamboo can be cultivated, and these eight-color lotus seeds are no problem." Five Elements Boy took the lotus seeds and said confidently.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he was naturally happy.

At this moment, the void beside him suddenly fluctuated, and Kong's figure appeared out of thin air.

He looked at Yuan Ming with a teasing smile in his eyes: "You guy, your mind is always so active, and you never miss any opportunity to use the World Tree."

"Make the best use of everything, why not?" Yuan Ming asked with a smile.

"Your idea is correct, but the spiritual power contained in this World Tree is limited after all, and it has become the foundation of the Shura Palace. If it is overused, the Shura Palace will lose the hope of advancement, and I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss." Sora reminded.

"Senior, have you noticed it too?" Yuan Ming's expression changed.

"Of course, this World Tree looks prosperous, but its vitality has long since expired. It is essentially just a dead object, completely different from the World Tree in your Dantian." Kong said.

"I also want to reduce the use of this World Tree, but now that the disaster is imminent, I can only sacrifice it first." Yuan Ming was quite helpless.

"The things belong to you, just think about it carefully." Sora said.

"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I have one more thing I would like to ask. When you helped the waitress in the shop, the secret technique you used to perform with your wish was quite mysterious. I wonder what kind of magical power it was? It is quite similar to the people's great wish. Could it be that you also Is it the great wish of the common people?" Yuan Ming asked.

"That is the secret technique of Fengtian. It can only be performed by relying on the Stealing Heaven Cauldron. It can bring good luck to people. It is somewhat similar to the great wish of the people, but it is also very different." Kong pointed out.

"Increase luck? And such magical powers!" Yuan Ming looked surprised.

"Your grasp of the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron is not enough. Once you crack the restrictions near the golden hall inside the cauldron, you will be able to find out its true secret." Kong said slowly.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he became even more curious.

He had already begun to make plans in his mind, preparing to summon several other city lords to come to Baidi City and use the power of the Siyue Lianyin to jointly break the seven-level restriction of the golden hall.

"Boy, are you already planning how to break the restrictions of the golden hall?" Kong seemed to see his thoughts and smiled slightly.

"Senior is aware of everything, and junior does have this plan." Yuan Ming smiled calmly.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you want to break through the restrictions of the golden hall, the power of the Four Mountains' seals alone is not enough. Your formation cultivation must reach at least level seven before you can hope." There was an unfathomable meaning in the words.

After hearing this, the smile on Yuan Ming's face gradually solidified, and he said bitterly: "What the senior said is absolutely true. Naturally, I also want to improve my formation cultivation to level seven, but unfortunately, with my qualifications, I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve it in my lifetime. ”

He has a very clear understanding of himself. As for the old method of possessing a body to gain enlightenment, naturally it won't work.

In these years of wandering around the Izumo Realm, Yuan Ming has never heard of it. Where can there be a seventh-level formation mage?

When Yuan Ming calmed down and thought carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, and an inexplicable joy surged in his heart: "Since senior mentioned this matter, he must know something about it. Could it be that senior knows where to find a seventh-level formation master?"

Kong looked at him, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "You have recently collected a lot of followers of the Dharma phase, and your wish power is quite impressive. That's the case. , I will show you a clear path.”

"Senior, please clarify!" Yuan Ming was suddenly excited and asked eagerly.

Kong smiled slightly, but did not say it clearly. He just let it slip: "You can ask Ulu about this. Maybe he can bring you a lot of gains."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yuan Ming could continue to ask, Kong's figure turned into a line of blue smoke and disappeared from the place.

When Yuan Ming saw this, he shook his head and laughed, but his heart was full of expectations.

He turned and left the Shura Palace. As soon as he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he heard Wang Fulong's voice coming from outside the door:

"Lord City Lord, someone claims to be your old friend from Dongjihai and has come to see you."

"An old friend from Dongjihai?" Yuan Ming felt surprised.

"I have placed him in the reception hall to entertain him. Does the city lord want to go to meet him?" Wang Fulong continued to ask.

"Go and have a look."

After Yuan Ming finished speaking, he stood up and went to the reception hall with Wang Fulong.

…

Stepping into the reception hall, Yuan Ming immediately saw the woman sitting next to the table.

She was dressed in a black robe, as deep as ink, the breath of her whole body was cleverly hidden, and her face was covered with gauze, making her look mysterious and strange.

Dressing like this would hardly arouse suspicion in ordinary circumstances.

Yuan Ming's cultivation has already surpassed that of ordinary people. Through the faint black mist, he could easily capture the fluctuations deep in the woman's soul. Smiling slightly, he already understood the other party's identity.

"Wang Fulong, you go and do your work first." Yuan Ming ordered softly. After Wang Fulong left, he and the black-robed woman were the only ones left in the hall.

The woman stood up slowly, her black robe swaying gently in the wind. She saluted Yuan Mingying, her voice soft and slightly trembling: "City Master Yuan, my little girl Yu Xi is a friend of your old friend, and she came here specially to seek refuge. "

"Yuxi? This name is quite unique, but I remember that you seem to prefer the name Yunluo, right?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming had a hint of joking in his eyes and chuckled.

When the woman heard this, she was slightly startled, and then she gently took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face, but with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness at this moment, it was Fairy Yunluo who had not been seen for a long time.

"City Master Yuan, you really have a unique vision. The little girl's disguise in front of you is really not worth mentioning." Fairy Yunluo sighed and said in a low voice.

"Fairy Yunluo, long time no see. How are you?" Yuan Ming asked with a smile, his tone full of concern and curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I am different from you. You are now the master of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range, with infinite scenery. But I am in a miserable state. After we parted ways in the East Extreme Sea, I thought I could practice with peace of mind, but unexpectedly..." Yun Fairy Luo shook her head slightly and sighed.

Speaking of this, her words were full of bitterness and helplessness.

When Yuan Ming saw this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He asked gently: "Isn't Fairy Yunluo coming here this time just to reminisce about the past?"

Fairy Yunluo looked up at Yuan Ming, with a hint of firmness and determination in her eyes: "Yes, I am here to seek refuge with fellow Taoist Yuan this time. However, I am not alone, but I am taking a small number of the disciples of our Su Nu Sect with me. Come. But, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yuan dares to take us in?"

"Fairy Yunluo, you have posed a difficult problem for me. However, since I, Yuan Ming, am the master of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range, I will naturally not be afraid of any challenge. However, I want to know what exactly you have caused. Are you so troubled that you want to leave your hometown and come to join me?" Yuan Ming laughed and said after hearing this.

When Fairy Yunluo heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a heavy look.

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "We were chased by the sect leader Si Rong. The other disciples are currently hiding in Beihan City and dare not show their faces. Only I, with all my strength, finally sneaked here."

At this point, her voice was choked up.

"Fairy Yunluo, please tell me your experiences in detail first, and then I will consider whether to take you in." Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Fairy Yunluo sighed again, recalled for a moment, and said:

"When I broke through the Dharma Stage, I returned to the Zhongzhou Continent. I had no intention of returning to the Su Nu Sect. I thought it would be good to protect my clan members and continue practicing with peace of mind. In fact, I did practice with peace of mind for many years afterwards. , but in the end still couldn’t escape the pursuit of the Sovereign Party…”

What happened next was that Si Rong, the leader of the vegetarian sect, brought one of his concubines to the hiding place of Fairy Yunluo, destroying her originally stable life.

Fairy Yunluo has been secretly selling the elixir prescriptions in the Alchemy King's Secret Book for many years, and she has accumulated a large amount of spiritual stones.

She used the money to refine an extremely powerful defensive spiritual treasure, Taiyi Wu Yan Luo.

With this treasure, Fairy Yunluo blocked their attacks and waited for an opportunity to escape.

"Qin Meiniang of the vegetarian sect, is she also involved in the pursuit of you?" Yuan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

"It was only after I returned to the vegetarian sect that I learned about Qin Meiniang. She mysteriously disappeared shortly after she broke through the Dharma phase, and her whereabouts are still unknown. It was because Si Rong lost her support and felt helpless that he decided to It hit me." Fairy Yunluo shook her head slightly and replied.

"Then what happened to the vegetarian monks you brought?" Yuan Ming continued to ask.

"I took advantage of the opportunity when Si Rong went out to search for me, and quietly sneaked back to the Pure Girl Sect. I knew that the hearts of the people in the sect were unstable, so I took the opportunity to win over a group of monks who were already dissatisfied with Si Rong's leadership of the sect. We hit it off immediately and decided to rebel against the sect. , Let’s find a new way out together.” Fairy Yunluo chuckled, feeling quite pleased with herself.

"Fellow Taoist Yunluo, you really refuse to take any losses. After Si Rong found out that his home had been stolen, he must have gone crazy, right?" Yuan Ming heard this and said with a smile.

"When is that woman not crazy? But this time it really hit her sore spot, so the subsequent pursuit became more and more fierce. Many of my disciples were unable to escape. After being caught, they even admitted their mistakes and expressed their willingness to return to the sect. She also killed them all," Fairy Yunluo said.

After saying that, she turned her wrist, and half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" appeared in her palm, and presented it to Yuan Ming with both hands.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, as long as you are willing to accept and protect us, this half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" is yours." Fairy Yunluo said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"It seems that you are in quite a lot of trouble." Yuan Mingming frowned and said, feeling slightly surprised.

He knew very well what this half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" meant to her.
